Pekin, Indiana’s Elephant Micah (a.k.a. Joe O’Connell) has spent the last six years going criminally underappreciated while making some of the best and most beautiful music in the world. His new EP, “Alsatian Sunlight,” is no exception—four songs gorgeous enough to bring tears to your eyes. While “Stay Lost” is an older song (he played it at his March, 2006 show at Earlham College), the rest seem to have been written after his Spring Europe tour. The first track, Wave Translation, is the best of the lot. O’Connell’s soft voice and fingerpicking are joined by gentle percussion and clarinet.
The EP is available for purchase via Elephant Micah’s website.
